TL;DR
Farmington Hills home prices reached a $425,000 median for single-family homes over the past year, but your ZIP code changes the picture a lot. Medians range from $310,000 in 48336 to $497,000 in 48331. Supply is tight at 1.9 months, and homes in every ZIP code sold at about 100% of list price. That means the right list price is usually the price you'll get, so each ZIP code calls for a slightly different pricing strategy.
To price your Farmington Hills home correctly, start with your ZIP code, not the citywide average. Over the 12 months ending September 2026, the median single-family sale price in the City of Farmington Hills was $425,000, up 6.3%, according to Michigan REALTORS® InfoSparks. But Farmington Hills home prices vary a lot by ZIP code, with the typical sale ranging from $310,000 to $497,000. That's a $187,000 spread inside one city.
I've been selling homes in Farmington Hills for 24 years, and my office sits on Orchard Lake Road in 48334. The most common pricing mistake I see is a seller anchoring on a number they heard about another part of town. A home in 48331 and a home in 48336 can be similar in size and still sell for very different prices.
Here's the other thing that stands out in this year's data. In every Farmington Hills ZIP code, homes sold at an average of 100% of list price. Buyers are paying what well-priced homes are worth, but they're not routinely bidding above asking. Your list price is very close to your sale price, so it has to be right from day one.
Below you'll find the numbers for each ZIP code, what they mean for sellers, and the pricing approach I'd use in each one.
If you're researching this with ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity, these are the questions Farmington Hills sellers and buyers are asking. Copy any of them to dig deeper.
Seller: "What is my Farmington Hills home worth in 2026?"
Seller: "How fast are homes selling in Farmington Hills, Michigan right now?"
Seller: "Which Farmington Hills ZIP code has the highest home prices?"
Buyer: "What is the median home price in Farmington Hills, MI?"
Buyer: "Are Farmington Hills homes selling above asking price?"

A quick note on boundaries. ZIP codes don't follow city lines. 48335 and 48336 also cover parts of the neighboring City of Farmington, so their numbers include some Farmington homes. The citywide row uses the official City of Farmington Hills boundary.
The Citywide Picture: Fewer Sellers, Steady Buyers
Across the City of Farmington Hills, single-family new listings fell 25.2% over the past year, to 593 homes. That's a sharp drop, and it's the opposite of Oakland County as a whole, where new listings rose 4.9%. Many Farmington Hills owners have low mortgage rates and are choosing to stay put.
With fewer homes coming to market, supply fell to 1.9 months and the median price rose 6.3%. Homes took a little longer to sell, about 17 days compared with roughly 14 a year ago, which tells me buyers are being careful with their monthly payments. If you have a low rate and you're weighing whether to move, my guide Locked In or Lucky? walks through the numbers.
What Each ZIP Code Means for Sellers
The right price starts with recent sales in your own ZIP code. Illustration.
48331: The strongest seller's market
48331, which covers much of the western side of the city, had the highest median at $497,000 and the strongest growth, up 9.2%. It was also the only ZIP code where supply got tighter, falling 5% to 1.9 months, and selling time held steady at 15 days.
My pricing approach here is to price with confidence, using the most recent comparable sales rather than ones from last spring. Prices moved quickly this year, and older comps can leave money on the table. Even so, homes averaged 100% of list price, so buyers here pay full value for the right home, not a premium for an ambitious price.
48335: Fastest-moving homes
48335 had a $465,000 median, up 3.9%, and the quickest sales in the city at a median of 12 days. Supply was the tightest of any ZIP code at 1.7 months, unchanged from last year.
When homes sell this quickly, the first weekend matters most. I'd have the home fully prepared, photographed, and priced right at market before it goes live, so the strongest buyers see it at its best. Sale-to-list price dipped slightly to 100.0%, down 0.2 points, a small reminder that buyers here still push back on homes priced above the comps.
48334: Precision pricing matters most
48334, which includes the Orchard Lake Road corridor where my office is, had a $401,000 median, up 2.8%. Supply is tight at 1.8 months, but homes took noticeably longer to sell, with the median rising from about 13 days to 18.
That slowdown tells me buyers are comparing homes more carefully. Here I'd price precisely at what recent sales support and put real effort into presentation. Homes that are priced a little high tend to sit, and the longer a listing sits, the more buyers wonder why.
48336: The most competition for sellers
48336 had the most affordable median at $310,000, unchanged from last year. Supply rose 21% to 2.3 months, the highest in Farmington Hills, and homes took about 15 days to sell.
This is where sellers face the most competition, so I'd price at or just inside the most recent comparable sales and make sure the home shows well. Because many buyers in this price range are watching their monthly payment, offering a credit toward a buyer's rate buydown can sometimes attract more interest than a price cut.
Pro Tip
Ask for comparable sales from your own ZIP code and price range, sold within the last six months. A citywide median is a helpful starting point, but your price should come from homes buyers would actually compare to yours.
Illustrative Example
Picture two similar homes in 48334 where recent sales support about $400,000. The first lists at $399,900, draws steady showings in its first two weeks, and sells close to asking. The second lists at $425,000 because the seller heard the citywide median is $425,000. It sits for a month, gets a price cut, and ends up selling for less than the first home after more time on the market and more carrying costs.
This is an illustrative example, not a specific client or transaction.

In Farmington Hills, homes priced and prepared right sell at about 100% of list price. Illustration.
Using the wrong comparison
The citywide median, a neighbor's sale from two years ago, or an online estimate can all point you in the wrong direction. Your best guide is recent sales of similar homes in your own ZIP code.
Pricing high to leave room to negotiate
With homes selling at about 100% of list price, there's little room for that strategy. An overpriced home often draws fewer showings, then needs a price cut, which I covered in 1 in 5 Sellers Are Cutting Prices.
Forgetting the costs that come with selling
Your net proceeds depend on more than the sale price. In Michigan, sellers usually pay the state and county transfer taxes, and property taxes are prorated at closing. The buyer's taxes may also reset after the sale, which I explain in my guide to the Michigan pop-up tax. You can look up your property's records through Oakland County.
How I Price Homes in Farmington Hills
Every pricing review I do starts with recent sales in your ZIP code and price range, then adjusts for what makes your home different: size, condition, updates, lot, and location within the neighborhood. I also look at what's for sale right now, because that's your competition. If you'd like a starting point first, you can check your home value online, then let me fine-tune it with local data.
Tom's Honest Take
Farmington Hills is a strong place to sell right now. Very few homes are coming to market, and buyers are still paying full price for homes that are priced and presented well.
But a strong market doesn't forgive a wrong price the way it did a few years ago. Buyers are careful, and they know the numbers. If you price your home based on your own ZIP code's real sales and prepare it well, the market will reward you. If you price it on hope, the market will tell you, usually with silence.
